Always thought that display port is better anyways lol. Anything that HDMI does or have that display port doesnt?

Audio? Forgive my ignorance, It is out of actual ignorance or rather lack of knowledge

Naah, DisplayPort carries everything from audio, USB, displays, etc. Version 1.2 even allows daisy chaining displays, so you don't have to have number of cables going to your PC. When it comes to audio, version 1.4 supports 1536 kHz maximum sample rate at 24bits and supports 32 individual audio channels. Scary good! Overall it's significantly better protocol.

DisplayPort supports audio.

I guess HDMI-CEC and some DRM.

DisplayPort supports CEC and HDCP DRM.

I have yet to see a reason why HDMI is better than DP other than what port is available on your device.

Yeaj, unfortunately most TVs only have HDMI, not DP

Really? Seems like I am late to the party.

Protocol level DRM?
